Trump Withdraws Endorsement of Marjorie Taylor Greene After Epstein Files Push

The break follows her drive to force a House vote compelling the Justice Department to release Epstein records, a vote expected within days.

Overview

  • Trump said on Truth Social that he is pulling his endorsement of Greene and would back a primary challenger "if the right person runs."
  • Greene responded on X that the president "attacked me and lied about me," asserting he aims to make an example of her before the House vote on Epstein files and sharing screenshots of texts she says she sent him.
  • The feud escalated Saturday as Trump posted additional insults and new nicknames for Greene, including "Marjorie Taylor Brown" and "Marjorie 'Traitor' Green [sic]."
  • Greene was one of a small group of House Republicans to sign a petition forcing a vote to require DOJ disclosure of Epstein-related records; Speaker Mike Johnson has pledged to bring the measure to the floor.
  • Greene said private security firms have warned her about threats to her safety, which she alleges are being fueled by the president’s rhetoric.
